Which outcome results when high montane stream sediment load exceeds capacity?

💡 Explanation

Braided stream channels form due to high sediment load overwhelming the stream's carrying capacity, leading to deposition and channel splitting; because streams attempt to minimize potential energy rather than maintain one stable course, therefore deposition occurs.
